Nancy Drew, recycling ideas? I, for one, am shocked. Yes, the game literally right before this one also had a suspect named Jane. The first thing we do upon showing up at the inn is talk to Emily’s new guardian, Jane.
#NANCY DREW OLD CLOCK MINI GOLF HOW TO#
I have no idea how to run a restaurant either, but I have played a lot of cooking minigames over the course of my Nancy Drew adventures, so I’m pretty sure I got this.
Emily inherited the Lilac Inn restaurant from her mother, but has no idea how to run it. Rough life, Helen!) Emily’s mother has died, and who better to comfort her in her grieving than someone she barely knows? Meanwhile, a friend of Emily’s mother, Jane Willoughby, has come to take care of Emily until she turns 18, which is in a few months. They don’t even know each other they have a mutual friend named “Helen Corning.” (Helen, by the way, was established as Nancy’s friend in the first couple of books, but was eventually written out in favor of Bess and George. So Nancy’s been called the Lilac Inn in Titusville (no word if it’s near a Hooverville) to help out this random girl named Emily Crandall, who has asked Nancy to come out to visit her for…reasons. Maybe they just wanted to make a game where people said “bee’s knees” unironically. It wasn’t a particular Nancy Drew anniversary or anything (although Nancy is turning 85 years old this year!).
I’m not sure what prompted them to release this game, actually. It’s good to know that even in 1930, Nancy Drew liked to just run off with random shit that’s too big for her pockets. Let’s check out Nancy’s look back then, shall we? Prohibition is still in force (which means everyone has a bunch of handy secret passageways), the Great Depression has begun (but Carson Drew’s business is still doing just fine), and the communist party of Vietnam was established in February! That last one might not have anything to do with the game. I don’t know if we get to destroy her car in this game, but that would be amazing.Īnyway, the year is 1930. I don’t remember much about them, either, besides being appalled by how many times Nancy crashes her blue roadster in the books, and frickin’ Carson always just buys her another one. He never even lectures her how to not crash a second (or third, or fourth, or fifth) time.
I’ve read The Secret of the Old Clock and The Mystery at Lilac Inn, but not the other two. This game is titled after the very first Nancy Drew book, but is apparently sort of a mix of the first four. I dig it a lot! It’s probably my third favorite of all the ND games, definitely in the top 5. There are also a lot of references to the books, which these games don’t normally do. It’s also pretty fun on its own - I like the mini-games and the characters, and the setting is really nice. As such, I have a lot of fondness for it. This was the first game I played without any spoilers, so I was COMPLETELY SHOCKED by the ending.
